Prosecutors asked to postpone the trial and a new date was set for July 16.

In the meantime, a preliminary hearing is scheduled Wednesday in a new case filed last week.

Prosecutor Anne Spillner said if the judge rules the new case can go to trial, the district attorney’s office will ask to consolidate the cases.

“That’s our intention, because they’re the same class of crimes,” she said.

Davis served on Oxnard’s Senior Services Commission from 2009 until March, when the City Council removed him after learning he has been a registered sex offender since at least 1967 and has a criminal history that includes felony convictions.

In the February case, Davis has been accused of sexual intercourse with a child under 11 and other counts for incidents alleged to have occurred in 2011 or 2012.

The new case alleges four counts of lewd acts with a child under 14 concerning events in 1996 and 1997.

Davis has pleaded not guilty to all charges and special allegations in both cases. He has remained in jail since his February arrest. Bail for both cases totals $2.6 million.
